Reviews for Garlic 'n Lemons in Boston, MA
This is a great shawarma restaurant. The food is super tasty and the portions are big. You walk in, order what you want and then... grab a seat in one of the available tables. I have been to several Middle Eastern restaurants and this one is really in the toptier and really recommend it. Read more
This place in Brighton, MA doesn?t disappoint. Good food and clean establishment. Well worth the visit.
Has to be one of my favorite gems in the Allston/Brighton area. Garlic and lemons offers so much. All the wraps, salads, bowls... and plates are incredible. My go to is the shawarma plate with the beef and spicy chicken. It comes out to around 15$ total. Itcomes with some of the best garlic sauce I?ve ever tasted. Overall, it?s one of the best Mediterranean restaurants in theregion. It?s hands down a must try if you?re in the area. Read more
This is one of my 3 favorite takeout spots in Allston & by far the best Mediterranean food in the area. I recommend the spicy... chicken shawarma plate with spicy potatoes, and their homemade garlic sauce is delicious. Great price considering the quality &the large quantity of food that you're getting.

This unassuming place on the busiest street in Allston is easy to be overlooked. However, if you are curious enough to prove how... this mediocre-looking shop survived and thrived in the pandemic, enter through their glass vestibule and you?ll realize there?snothing mediocre here. This Mediterranean place is friendly, down to earth, and generous in serving portions. The owner Mardiggreets every guest personally and walks them through the line patiently. The amount he scoops and packs into the bowl/plateusually takes me two meals to finish. Yet when you pay at the cashier, you?ll discover with amazement that almost 2-pound bowlonly costs $15 including tax. Places like Garlic ?n Lemons in the post-pandemic Allston is a rare find. Allston, for anyone whoknows it, is a neighborhood crowded with crazy rich kids unconcerned about money who inadvertently helped foster a flock ofoverpriced restaurants. Yet this Mediterranean restaurant can hold its integrity, continues to serve fresh, big-portioned foodand charges only a very reasonable price. This place is a noble contrarian to the hedonistic environment it?s located in. Iapplaud Mardig for maintaining his principles as a business owner and encourage anyone who ever stops by Allston to give hisplace a try. (The pictures don?t serve this place justice, probably because their food is made to please the stomach, not thecameras.) Read more
We ordered spicy beef but not sure if they actually gave us original beef since it was not spicy at all (but still tasted very... good). Garlic dip and chips are awesome! Read more
I had their plate with a mix of meats, mint kefir and osmalia (dessert). Everything was great and a special note to myself is to... never skip osmalia. Something between tofu and sweet cheesecake. Perfectly not too sweet. Read more
